I gotta get at Kanye
- Thread starter SirBiatch

How can you not like Late Registration?Yall gon be mad but kanye only has 1 good album. MBDTF. I tried listening to College Dropout again and it's stale. Kanye has always been completely overrated, I respect Ye for pushing the boundaries and bein creative with his music, but most of it is
just a bunch of hipsters who wanna dress like him keep him alive.

You gonna answer the question or step back n let ur dad handle it?
Kanye actually has y'all convinced that he's a genre-blending genius who's pushing hip hop into the next frontier.
All this dude did was figure out ways (albeit some of them creative) to water down hip hop and sell it as "authentic hip hop" to the uniformed. Which is why Ye is so cosign-dependent.
I remember when the cac hype for MBTDF started. Ye sampled King Crimson for "Power." Cacs went berzerk.
"He's taking rap to a new frontier! Prog rap! No other rapper has ever been as creative as Kanye. He's going hard and taking no prisoners, Becky!" Blah blah bullshyt.
MEANWHILE
Mobb Deep and them have been sampling progressive rock since before most of you even started listening to hip hop. Among other genres.
Here's the difference: When Mobb Deep do it, they make it HIP HOP.
When Kanye samples King Crimson, he tries to recreate the feel of King Crimson with a dash of badly-ghostwritten rap, sing-a-long Katy Perry-isms, pancake-flat drums (shots to Big Mel) and tries to sell it off as hip hop.
Compare the sound of this:
and
to
this pop rock, cac-wannabe weak shyt
Notice how the Mobb Deep shyts are much rawer, have way better drums, zero cheese, stronger attitude, sharper rhymes and a funkier spirit. That's hip hop.
You can't be mad that your average hip hop head doesn't give a fukk about Kanye like that. His stuff is just not raw enough and most of it's not even structured like a hip hop record. If you love that stuff, cool. But don't pretend like a hip hop head who doesn't fukk with Kanye doesn't know hip hop. It's the most ridiculous shyt ever.
And that's as real as it gets.
I know some of y'all are gonna hate this. I'm trying to win WOAT. So neg me, cacs and c00ns!

Without Ye, there's no Drake, Cole, Sean, Gambino, Lupe, Cudi, Chance, John Legend, etc. There's no "Slow Jamz," "Takeover" or Common's 2005 album "Be" so .

I have no idea what race Mel is, though I suspect White. I was asking Mel to clarify his race and if he made the lists (or found the shameful Black people list online).
Relax. Mel will be in any second now to soothe your concerns.
Thanks for playing.

irrelevant to the thread. and frankly, I could care less about all those trash rappers. Game's better without em.
